There’s a golden rule in the crypto market—holding onto your principal in a bear market is a win, and only by daring to bet in a bull market can you really profit.

This isn’t just empty talk. I’ve learned this rule the hard way, with real money and real mistakes. Many people ruin themselves by chasing gains and panic selling, but if you get the timing right, doubling your money isn’t that hard.

The market is never short on opportunities; what’s lacking are people who can survive the winter and have the guts to plant seeds in the spring.
